Assistant Mode is a powerful feature in Momentum that allows you to view and interact with the app as another user. This makes it easy to set up new actions, create constituent lists, and even draft email copy on behalf of teammates.
Assistant Mode is designed to streamline collaboration and frontline fundraiser support while maintaining security.
Navigation
Look in the top right corner of the application for your user avatar (this will be your initials by default) to open your user menu.
Drop down and select Assistant Mode.
Managing Assistant Permissions
